In 2026, the population of Hungary was 9.54 million, compared with 10.7 million in 1980.

What are the drivers of population decline?

 Emigration is just one of the causes behind Hungary’s decreasing population. Over the past decade, the number of deaths exceeded the number of live births in the country each year, which contributed to the country’s aging population. The Hungarian government has introduced various financial incentives to fight this phenomenon and increase fertility rates in the country; however, it remains to be seen whether these measures will bring the desired results.

From which countries are people immigrating to Hungary?

 Net migration in Hungary has presented positive values over the past years, meaning that the number of immigrants exceeded the number of people leaving the country. In 2023, the highest number of foreigners arrived from Asian countries their number measuring at nearly 22,000. Vietnamese constituted the second-largest group, with approximately 9,700 people moving to Hungary during the same year.
